Mayper was an associate head coach and special teams and wide receivers coach at Lamar. He coached with Woodard at Navarro before Lamar hired Woodard in May 2008.

His departure comes just weeks after offensive line coach Nathan Reeves left to join Texas A&M as an offensive quality control assistant.

That leaves Woodard with at least two holes to fill on his coaching staff as national signing day nears Feb. 1.

UPDATE: Woodard sent a statement via text message that reads: “Brian Mayper did get Navarro College head job. I’m excited for Brian and his family. I am grateful to him for all he has done for me and my career. Navarro is getting a great coach and a great man.”
